"Consider for one moment that in Manhunt 2 you can, Wii remote and nunchuk in hands, use a pair of pliers to clamp onto an enemy's testicles and literally tear them from his body in a bloody display; and if that weren't enough, you'll take one of the poor victim's vertebrae along with his manhood. Or, if you'd prefer, you can use a saw blade and cut upward into a foe's groin and buttocks, motioning forward and backward with the Wii remote as you go. But believe it or not, there is much more to Manhunt 2 than mutilation and mayhem. This is a game that begins with the subject of psychosis."

I prefer excessively cool attacks to excessively violent ones.
And I'll bet that there are games that already explore psychologic concepts and psychosis far better than whatever their putting out does.

The real psychological aspects of the game sound like they resolve around what a person would do to an inanimate person when there's no lawful consequences. Yeah, we already know people would blow someone's head off or shoot out their legs, but how far can torture go? If that's also the case, I expect many more people than Jack Thompson to be making a case against it.
